Chapter 553: The Orangutan and the Snake (Please subscribe and read, monthly ticket recommendation!)

"Shall I go to Gorilla City with you?"

Barry didn't expect that Martin would choose him to participate in this event. When he heard the news, an expression of astonishment instantly appeared on his face.

Although Barry was chosen by the Speed Force, he has never been one who enjoys fighting.

In order to protect others, he can transform into the Flash to fight against various villains. But if he has the opportunity to retire, he would rather do some scientific research.

The Justice League just provided him with this opportunity. Barry also began to use the speed force in various scientific research projects and prepared to withdraw from the front line.

"I know you think that after you take over the scientific research department, you can gradually retreat to the second line. This is impossible."

Martin put his arm around Barry's shoulders and said to him with a smile, "You are the origin of the Speed Force. As long as you are still alive in this world, countless speedsters will come to you along the timeline and cause all kinds of troubles. This is not something you can avoid if you want to."

Barry's troubles are not just about the speed force. There are also all kinds of strange things running around in the multiverse that are affected by the speed force.

Even without talking about the multiverse, Grodd, the gorilla in Gorilla City, is one of the villains who should have been entangled with the Flash.

But with the arrival of Martin, the world changed before my gorilla had a chance to run out of Star City to cause trouble.

"Although I don't know what you are talking about, I have a feeling that these are probably not good words."

Barry looked at Martin helplessly, then decided to join the mission without any complaints.

"You can't blame me."

Martin waved his hand and said, "Speed Force, a force that runs through the multiverse, is bound to bring many enemies, and even at some point this force itself will rebel against the speedsters themselves.

Even if I don't get involved, you will still encounter many strange enemies later."

Barry immediately thought of the several times he had tried to enter the Speed Force, only to be scared out of it.

Because every time he entered the Speed Force, the first person he saw was his mother.

The Speed Force repeatedly emphasized that they chose the image of Nora Allen just to better communicate with Barry, but Barry always felt something was wrong when he looked at his mother's face.

"If this is the fate that must be endured by bearing the Speed Force, then I have no reason to complain."

Barry did not complain about his fate, but accepted the result calmly, and then asked Martin about the specific arrangements of the operation.

"Martin, here I come!"

Just as Martin was introducing the details of Gorilla City to Barry, a gentle and steady voice came from his mind.

Then, a tall, dark and strong gorilla came over. This was Goodman, the gorilla that Martin rescued from the Metropolis laboratory.

"Hey, long time no see! Lao Gu!"

Martin looked carefully at this friend whom he had not seen for a long time.

The last time they separated, Goodman was still walking on his hands and feet, but now he has basically changed to the walking pattern of a human.

He wore a floral shirt on the upper body, black shorts that reached his knees on the lower body, a white coat on the outside, and glasses on his face. He looked like a scientist.

Goodman does work in the scientific research department now, and his research projects are basically related to the super genes in the human body.

"It's been a while since we last met, and you don't look like you've changed at all."

Goodman communicated with Martin with his mind power, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, which was as big as a casserole, and directly wrapped Martin's hand around it, shaking it twice.

"hiss!"

Martin heard some strange sound in a trance and subconsciously pulled his hand out of Goodman's palm.

Then the light around Goodman's arm changed, and an emerald green snake appeared, staring at Martin with its eyes and spitting out its tongue from time to time.

This green snake was also one of the animals Martin rescued from the Metropolis laboratory.

But except for Goodman, these animals were not given human names, but only a simple nickname.

For example, the code name of this green snake is Green Snake, which is very simple.

After training by the alliance, the abilities of these super animals have also changed a lot.

Goodman's intelligence has reached a new level, and his mental power has become even better than before after being taught by Martian Manhunter.

Green Snake's ability has also expanded from invisibility to controlling force fields. Her original invisibility ability was achieved by manipulating light, and now it has just gone a step further to form a certain force field.

"My stealth ability can be very useful in this mission, so I volunteered. Mr. Martin, you won't refuse, right?"

Qing Snake's voice had the feeling of a cold and elegant queen. Although what she said was a request, it sounded like she was giving Martin an order.

"Of course!"

Martin listened to the green snake's voice and immediately agreed.

The Green Snake's ability to make all four of them invisible was indeed rare, and there was no reason to refuse him.

"Now that everyone is here, I will briefly introduce you to the situation in Gorilla City, and then we will set off."

While Martin was looking for someone, Diana had already led her troops out.

It is now difficult for the Justice League to transfer large-scale troops by teleportation, so Diana still uses transportation to travel to the country of Kronk.

Military action of this magnitude could easily provoke hostility from surrounding countries, but after being controlled by the alien queen bee Sazara, Korank was already in a semi-hidden state, and many people even forgot the existence of this country.

Secondly, the alliance is not far from Korank, and it can be reached by passing through the country that has reached an alliance with them.

Even so, Martin certainly wouldn't be able to see the end of this war today.

"I have already told you about the origin of Gorilla City. The leader of this country is called Sorowa. Although Gorilla City is a miracle city created by him, the Gorilla King has no intention of expanding outward."

"But there must be people who want to expand outward among those messages. What you mean is that the situation in Ape City is actually an internal struggle. As long as we help the party that has no intention of expanding outward to win, we can solve the troubles in Ape City."

Green Snake immediately understood what Martin meant and expressed doubts about this argument.

"No matter how high the intelligence of those apes evolves, they may be able to get rid of the foundation of carbon-based life, but they probably can't jump over the cycle similar to human history. How can you be sure that those stars are not actively cooperating with Savage to achieve some purpose?"

"Because these apes are a minority group on Earth, the resources in Star City are enough for them to maintain a relatively stable society without lack of competition."

Martin vaguely remembered that some colonists tried to enter the Gorilla City but were knocked to the ground.

"But you are right. Not all of these evolved apes can be saints. There are also people who want to turn everything into their own. One of them is called Grodd, and he is my biggest suspect." He briefly talked about what Grodd would do to New Capital and the Flash in another timeline.

Then, everyone suddenly understood what Martin meant.

“So our plan is very simple. Let Goodman sneak into the Ape City first and find out the specific situation of that city.

If the apes are in internal strife, we will help the party that has no intention of waging war. If the apes are completely on Savage's side, we will carry out a decapitation operation to leave the apes leaderless. "

Martin did not intend to solve all the problems overnight. For places like Gorilla City, it was enough to make sure that they intervened in the affairs of the outside world by force.

"Plain and simple, let's go!"

The green snake coiled on top of the gorilla Goodman's head. After listening to Martin's plan, she tapped Goodman's head with her tail, and then she controlled the force field to change.

Martin watched the light around him distort, and then his body began to disappear into the air little by little from his abdomen, and he became invisible within 3 seconds.

Barry was also surprised to see himself become invisible, and carefully stretched out his left hand to touch his right hand in the air.

"It's really strange to not be able to see my own body!"

The problem with optical invisibility, or any invisibility at all, is that the invisible person cannot observe himself. Without the guidance of others, he is likely to feel a sense of dislocation.

This feeling is similar to that of disabled people who have lost their limbs. They can still feel the severed limbs but cannot see them with their eyes.

"Well done."

Martin and Barry had completely different reactions. After all, he was used to being invisible and knew how he should deal with this change.

"Lao Gu, use your spiritual power to connect the four of us. This way, even if we can't see with our eyes, our bodies won't feel misplaced."

"It has to be you!"

Goodman pushed his glasses up, gave Martin a thumbs up, and then extended his mental power into everyone's minds.

"Oh, I can feel my body again."

Barry cried out in surprise, jumping up and down, taking in the strange experience of being invisible.

"Stop jumping, let's go."

Martin wielded the Mother Box, opening a sonic boom tunnel that led directly to the depths of the Congo Basin.

"You can go without worry, as long as you don't go too far. My force field will distort the light around you and make you invisible."

The green snake used its telepathic power to dispel Martin's worries.

Martin nodded and walked into the sonic explosion channel first.

When they walked out from the other end of the passage, they had already arrived in a rainforest.

These rainforests are different from the wild primitive rainforests. Although the trees in this rainforest are extremely lush and the ground is full of bushes, it is obvious at a glance that these are the result of human intervention.

Without human intervention, the original rainforests would be crushed by the big ones, and the small ones would not survive, and could only survive by simply clinging to the ground.

Instead, the woods around Martin and the others were full of vitality but also had a sense of hierarchy. Even the big trees were arranged from low to high, extending all the way to the center of the basin.

Therefore, the terrain of the basin became lower and lower, but the trees became taller and taller. At the center, they looked like trees on a mountain peak, protruding out in the center of the basin.

Among the lush trees are countless buildings. The style of these buildings is very tough, with a strong sense of lines and pointed roofs, but they are strangely integrated with the rainforest and shine brightly under the sunlight.

The most striking difference between this place and the rainforest is that there are no strange insects here.

“There are no mosquitoes here!”

Barry disappeared from the spot with a swish. Within one second, he checked the surrounding area within a kilometer, but found nothing.

The specialties of the tropical climate of the African continent are all kinds of strange insects, especially mosquitoes, which carry malaria.

Of course, this is not because Africa is a special place, but simply because these countries are not industrialized enough.

Although Gorilla City was built by gorillas, it was highly industrialized and almost all the messy pests were killed.

Although it looks like a city surrounded by rainforest, it has actually been strictly planned to allow the gorillas to live safely in the city.

"Seeing this planned rainforest, I now have some confidence that the gorillas really have no intention of waging war."

Green Snake noticed the orderly planning in Orangutan City and began to change his mind.

What a community is like is always determined by both internal and external factors.

A community that launches a war crazily against other countries is bound to have chaotic internal order and may even gradually collapse.

This is because a community is about to be destroyed, so they have to take the most drastic measures to transfer the power of self-destruction to others.

However, the Gorilla City still seems to be in order. There is no unrest in this community, and it basically will not wage war against other countries.

"That's a good thing. It's always easier to deal with one ambitious person than to deal with an entire city of apes."

Martin waved her hand to close the sonic boom channel and did not have any major emotional fluctuations because Green Snake changed her evaluation.

"Lao Gu, from now on, don't hide yourself. Go directly into the city and I will gather information."

Martin reminded Goodman quietly.

"You have the ability to control the power of the mind, so you don't have to worry about your identity being exposed even if you encounter those apes. As for the machines in this city, I will use the Mother Box to disrupt their operation."

The power of the mind, this is the second reason why Martin chose Goodman.

Goodman has this ability, combined with his identity as a gorilla, so he can basically move freely in the city, as long as he doesn't encounter a gorilla like Grodd.

"I understand, don't worry!"

Goodman gave Martin an OK sign.

Green Snake controlled the light around Goodman to restore it to normal operation, allowing the gorilla to come out, while she herself remained invisible above the gorilla's head.

Then, Goodman swaggered into the city, and Martin and Paris followed behind him, remaining invisible.

Not long after they walked, they encountered a group of patrolling gorillas.
